Dear Colleagues,

The importance of remote sensing methods and techniques for different engineering branches has been well known for several decades, even before the deployment of the first satellite sensor for Earth observation. Indeed, it has been recognized since the first applications of aerial and close-range photogrammetry to mapping, digital terrain and man-made object modeling, ground and infrastructures geomatic monitoring, cultural heritage documentation, and industrial metrology. These still constitute most of the fields of remote sensing applications in engineering.

Anyway, continuous technology improvement (with respect to sensors and computational facilities) has made available more and more data, in an increasingly distributed and shared way, and at a higher and higher rate; thanks to this, new important application fields have been opened, such as natural hazard and disasters monitoring and documentation, and intelligent transport systems. In addition, requests for new demanding applications have asked for new data quality assessment, integration, and analysis methods.

The main aim of this Issue is therefore the presentation and discussion of new sensors and data processing methods, in relation to the above-mentioned application fields, related to civil, constructional, environmental, industrial safety, and civil protection engineering. Manuscripts for this important Issue of Remote Sensing will be accepted by the editorial office, the Editor-in-Chief and editorial board members by invitation only.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
